Investing in local cuisine in Nigeria is crucial for addressing the nation’s food issues. Our rich culinary heritage is not only a source of national pride but also a potential cornerstone for sustainable food security. By promoting local dishes, we support local farmers and producers, reduce dependence on imported foods, and boost the economy. Furthermore, embracing local cuisine encourages healthy eating habits by utilizing fresh, indigenous ingredients that are well-suited to our environment and nutritional needs. This investment fosters community resilience, preserves cultural heritage, and paves the way for a self-sufficient food system in Nigeria. -Dr. Okezie Victor Ikpeazu

?? Vietnam has been the number 1 source of white fish for Colombia for more than a decade. ?? According to ITC data, Colombia mainly consumes frozen pangasius products with HS code 030424, frozen tilapia with HS code 030461, frozen pangasius fillets with HS code 030462,... In 2023, the South American country This country consumed nearly 50 million USD of white meat fish, of which the volume imported from Vietnam (mainly pangasius) reached nearly 24 thousand tons, worth more than 33 million USD, accounting for 66% of the proportion. ?? With the advantage of being a delicious, nutritious, white-flesh fish containing lots of Omega3 and at an affordable price, pangasius is a suitable choice for Colombian consumers. From 10 years ago until now, consumers in Colombia still maintain meals containing white fish (mainly pangasius) from Vietnam. High consumption demand has made importers in this South American country become longtime partners of Vietnamese pangasius export enterprises for more than a decade. #pagansius #export #VDTG #Vietnam

Driving Pork Acceptance in Nigeria! ?????? "I get asked this question about the acceptance of pork in Nigeria. The truth is, everything has to be marketed well to gain acceptance. Perception is greater than reality. More people will consume pork if it's hygienic, available, and accessible." ???? This statement holds the key to unlocking a culinary revolution in Nigeria. ??? Perception shapes reality, and nowhere is this truer than in the world of food. If we want pork to become a staple in Nigerian diets, we must first change the way people perceive it. ?? Enter the power of marketing. ?? Just like the National Pork Board in the U.S. transformed the perception of pork through strategic messaging and innovative advertising, we too can revolutionize the way Nigerians view this nutritious protein source. ???? It starts with us - with our commitment to quality, hygiene, and accessibility. Let's ensure that every Nigerian has access to safe, nutritious pork products, and let's spread the word about the benefits of including pork in our diets. ?????? Together, we can change perceptions, transform realities, and usher in a new era of culinary excellence in Nigeria. Join me in driving pork acceptance and empowering our nation's health and wellness! ???? P: S, I used our #pig picture so you don't forget the producers of pork?? #Pigfarming #agribusiness #pork #HygienicPork #agribusiness #AccessiblePork #womeninagriculture

El Mordjene is an Algerian hazelnut spread that has recently gained significant popularity in France, particularly among the Algerian community and beyond. Produced by the family-owned company Cebon, established in 1997 in Oran, Algeria, El Mordjene is known for its flavor reminiscent of Kinder Bueno and has been marketed as a competitor to Nutella. Its rise to fame was notably propelled by social media influencers, especially on platforms like TikTok, leading to high demand and even stock shortages in stores across France. However, the product has faced significant challenges. As of September 13, 2024, El Mordjene has been banned from importation into France due to regulatory issues concerning its ingredients. The primary reason cited is that the spread contains milk, which is subject to strict European Union regulations regarding dairy imports. Notably, while the milk used in El Mordjene is imported from France, Algeria is not listed among the countries permitted to export dairy products to the EU under the relevant regulations. This situation has sparked controversy and speculation, with some suggesting that the ban may also be influenced by El Mordjene's burgeoning success as a competitor to established European brands like Nutella. The ban has raised questions about the potential impact on the market for Algerian products in France, as El Mordjene had been well-received and was seen as a symbol of Algerian culinary heritage gaining traction abroad. #ElMordjene #Nutella #VitaliDziadul

Not many would associate Africa with frozen food markets. Even less Mali, landlocked and recently troubled by violence. Yet, a combination of mother nature's gift (the Kent variety, unanimously considered the best for IQF diced mangoes) entrepreneurial spirit by Comafruit's owner and an enormous hard work by Africa Felix Consulting made it possible: frozen Mango Made in Mali has landed on the tables of many European. And its quality has been unanimously praised. The 2023 production has been hoovered by the market in just two months, also given the problems El Nino is bringing to other parts of the world. Now is time to talk to our customers for the 2024 crop, starting in April. Time to build further on the past success. Made in Africa food has enormous potential.

Dubia is generally known for its vibrant tourism sector, manufacturing, oil and its services sector. Agriculture is not a major source of revenue, yet Dubia has announced its arrival on the scene. A few unanswered questions: 1) are we in the Region serious about the food terminal as espoused by Barbados and Guyana? 2) Do we have a business model for this vision and should be really be thinking hub concept rather than terminal concept, albeit they can be one and the same? 3) What are the core food items to be traded to create critical mass? 4) Do we have an SPS regime that is conducive to foster intra-regional sourcing and producing? 5) Have we carved out a role for the private sector including existing buyers? https://lnkd.in/eyBXmdH3 #caricom #agriculture This may very well be another great idea with huge potential that we are allowing to slip through our fingers.
